| Popis: | The accurate diagnosis of urinary tract infection, in infancy and childhood based on examination of the urine is made diffi cult by the number of variables involved. These include the age and sex of the patient, method of collection of the urine, time interval between micturition and urine examination, and technique of examination employed. The method of collection of urine is most important and for two common methods plastic adhesive bags and midstream specimens-we have suggested diagnostic levels for cell and bacterial counts related to the age and sex of the patient and the type of collection (Braude et al., 1967). To determine the validity of these levels non-catheter and -atheter specimens of urine were obtained from 68 patients. |
